Sometimes your skin needs a little extra love. Like, for example, when the seasons change, or you’ve been ill, or you’ve had an extra busy week (or four) at the office. If all of those things happen to coincide, you may wake up one  morning to find blotchy, dry and angry looking skin staring back at you in the mirror. Which is exactly what happened to me today. 

  
I decided to channel my inner French girl and slathered my unhappy complexion with a generous layer of Avene Soothing Moisture Mask. Friends, this is the ultimate lazy beauty product. All you do is apply the clean, fresh smelling cream to your face and let it soak in. After 15 minutes it is completely absorbed and once-angry skin is left soft and glowy. There’s no greasy shine. No post-mask peeling or scrubbing required. It’s amazing. 

  
To finish off my French-girl facial, I swiped Caudalie Lip Conditioner on my lips. This is my current favorite balm – weightless and silky smooth, it’s long-lasting and makes a great base for lipstick. 

Suddenly my skin looks much better and I’m feeling very breezy and chic. Gotta love French beauty.
